How many of these t-shirts did you have in '77 and '78? I owned the first one and the one with the Hildebrant poster. Note the funky spelling on R2-D2 and C-3PO, and how Peter Mayhue's eyes were painted out so Ballentine didn't need to pay him royalties.

This print by Christopher Paul salutes one of my favorite Star Wars characters--The Millennium Falcon!

Star Wars characters depicted in the style of traditional Mexican art. Ole!

Awesome car sun shade.

If you think Hugh Fleming played the dad on Leave it to Beaver, this is the wrong post. Hugh is an Aussie painter who does wizard Star Wars paintings.
